As we all know Taro Root or Kesuvina gadde(ಕೆಸುವಿನಗಡ್ಡೆ) is a root vegetable which can be used in

varieties of dishes. Some of the varieties of Toro roots grow back-home cause itchiness when you touch them so there is a practice of cooking them in Tamarind water and thats the only solution as I know, there could be other ways too not sure. I think the variety which we get here in Toronto are not itchy, but to be on the safer side I cook them in Tamarind water.

As you have seen I love to share quick, easy yet delicious recipes, it is one of them!!. This is one of the fine havyaka recipes handed down from my Mom. Give it a try and let me know how it turned out. I m sure you will love it. Enjoy.

Preparation time : 20-25 minServings : 2

Ingredients:

2 meduim size Taro Roots

1/2 Lemon size Tamarind

2 tbsp grated Coconut

2 cups Yoghurt / Curd

salt to taste

For tempering

1 tsp cooking Oil

1/2 tsp Mustard seed

Pressure cook the Taro roots with Tamarind. 1 whistle should be enough. If you dont want to pressure it takes about 30-40 min to get soften.
